Day 52: Derali to Machhapuchhre Base Camp

Though we have only about 1000 feet (300 m) to climb today, the path rises and falls in a frustrating switchback.
I've given up saying 'Namaste' to everyone who passes, but I'm momentarily cheered when I plod up to the top of yet another stone staircase and come level with two middle-aged American ladies. I see a look of recognition on one of their faces and hear a gasp of excitement as I pass.
'Oh, my God!'
I nod appreciatively, straighten my back and move on.
'It's Eric Idle!'
